Description
His name is Bily Rowe. Yesterday, he was just another tragically talented loser that the city had chewed up and spat back down on the streets - a failed musician, failed lover, failed friend. But that was before a young woman was brutally murdered before his eyes. That was before the hideous creatures crawled out of the shadows to call him by name. That was before Billy Rowe discovered the Power. And with it, his mission... The Cleanup. Billy Rowe is cleaning up the streets. Now, you have show more nothing left to fear. Nothing but Billy Rowe. "These guys are amongst the frontfunners of modern horror. Skipp and Spector take you to the limits...then one step more." -- Clive Barker show lessTags

fans of Robert McCammon will appreciate books like this. I've read two by this duo so far, and they have a creative way with lively characters and of taking a well-known setting and adding a subtle underground level of supernatural menace. I am already looking for other by Skipp & Spector!

- Epigraph
- “Well, some folks get bent
In strange ways.
Like some folks seem meant
To feel the pain.
The sorrow gets sent
Down on their heads.
The sadness, it twists them.
They're never ... (show all)the same. . .
